Gotha Go 229 A1 for the Bf 109G Slot in European Air War
By Charles Gunst - April 2001

This Gotha Go 229 (aka the Horten Ho IX Flying Wing) replaces the Bf 109G in EAW, and is intended for use with ECA (Enemy Coast Ahead) Control Panel (which is available from most of the websites listed below). 

Unzip all files and copy the *.TPC and *.3DZ files into your EAW directory. The Go 229 takes the place of the Bf109G, using ECA Control Panel v3.5 or later.

To install, just unzip the *.TPC and *.3DZ files in this zip file into your EAW directory (the one with EAW.EXE in it). To un-install, simply remove them from your EAW directory.

To achieve the proper visual effect when flying with the EAW 2D cockpit (i.e. to eliminate the propellor from the in-cockpit view), do the following. From the EAW Main Menu  go to "Configure Game", then "Graphics", and then for "Show Propellor in Cockpit" select "Off".

This is a major reconstruction job on an EAW 3D shape, to create the Gotha Go 229 "Flying Wing" jet fighter for use in EAW. It actually started life as the Pacific Air War P39 Airacobra shape, and used as an original base a P39 skin by Claudio Wilches from Alessandro's site, with the 3D cockpit and wing views from Christian "Mosi" Mosimann's Ta183. The camouflage scheme is from MKSheppard's great skin for the Me163 Komet.

There are plenty of websites with other EAW skins and shapes. I can't list them all, but try these sites (and most have links to many others):

I hope you enjoy the Gotha Go 229. It never saw combat, but might have. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
